RESEARCH ON INTENSIVE EMDR THERAPY IS POSITIVE

• Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in clients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that clients drop out prematurely. Learn more here and here.
• An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD. Learn more here.
• The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.

Immersive Healing Intensive therapy is a financial investment in you and your future. Rather than being on the weekly payment plan of traditional therapy treatment, you will be investing a larger amount of money up front (that in the long run will likely still be less money than ongoing weekly therapy). Many people choose to plan and save before they can schedule an Intensive. Once the Intensive is scheduled though, you will have a fixed cost to work with rather than the unknown of ongoing weekly therapy.

When clients make fast but highly effective changes in how they feel and move through the world, that can often impact (both positively as well as negatively) the family system in which they live. Sometimes other parts of the system don’t handle the healing very well. These issues and concerns will be addressed both at our Getting to Know You Session and during the wrap up of our time together. I am a systemically trained marriage and family therapist and while Intensive work is amazingly healing, it can also be system disrupting.

Many people feel ready to simply move forward after our time together with a new view of their world and a more joyful, lighter feeling. Some clients will benefit from having an established relationship with a therapist who can help them navigate the ongoing healing journey if our work together focused on certain aspects of their story (preverbal trauma work for example). Some people will need to schedule several intensives to fully process and heal their stories. In these situations, having a regular therapist to help work on things between Intensives may be recommended or required. We will thoroughly discuss all of this when we have our Consultation call and Getting to Know You Session.
